Toronto Archives was amazing ! :)

I don't remember the last time I actually went on a nice trip, maybe back in grade 9 to Center Islands. But this trip was just amazing on such a nice weather too! I love this course even more now. It was really interesting how Toronto Archives is so well organized with all the history and files from Toronto. Usually I'm not interested in history, but I think I definitely changed my mind today. I never knew finding out about a person that existed in the 1920's can be so fun. It was really interesting to find out what Albert Austin's grades were and how his life was just by looking at some documents. Well as Ms. Cat told us to write a blog on the character, so here it goes :)


Albert Edison Austin studied in the faculty of arts in Univerity of Toronto. His weaknesses in highschool were on Math, French, and Geology but he was very good at Psychology and history.He enjoyed playing golf and his religion was "medhodist". He got a job in the Board of Directors in the Dominion Bank. He was quite tall and had an average body. He got married and has a family of one son, two daughters and they lived on the east side of Spadina road in Toronto. He was very rich because of the number of occupations he had which was ten to be exact. He was not only the president of the Dominion Bank but also Consumer's gas company and Canada Northwest land. He was a very creative man and introduced advocate electric overhead trolley cards in Canada.
